I am yearning to go flower shopping. It may be too soon, to plant, but I could look and plan. I told Ted yesterday that we absolutely need a new planter box for the mailbox post . I know I could just put the flowers in the ground around the mailbox....but some times my lawn man (Ted) gets too close to things. So flowers In a box may be safe. LOL. Wishing you a beautiful Spring day. xo
They always have so many tempting pots of flowers at the garden shop! It's fun to pick them out! Enjoy your day my friend! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYes, When I see those pots of flowers I am very tempted. I guess right now after so long a winter I am very ready to plant things. xoxo,Susie
Deleteoh its so tempting isn't it!! we get the urge to shop for plants, spring is well and truly with yu!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy planting your flowers. I love this time of year.
ReplyDeleteBeth, I like to dig in the dirt and the smell of it. It makes me feel like I m doing something good. xoxo,Susie
DeleteI know that feeling. I planted several things a bit early and had to cover them. Some are winter burned but will make it. Have a good week, olive
ReplyDeleteI just looked at some of my plants and they have suffered through our bad winter...hoping they still grow. xoxo,Susie
DeleteWhere we live, nurseries often do not have certain plants available until after the average date of the last chance of frost is past. We could still have some frost here. xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteI have planted things too soon before...and think oh what a waste...so I truly try to hold off on getting to excited.xoxo,Susie
DeleteWe have juniper bushes in our front yard, but they don't need pruning. I think you have a different kind. if you build up a box around the base of your mailbox, flowers will look great planted there! I agree that they would be safer that way too.
ReplyDeleteThis tree was trimmed up when I bought it and I thought I could keep it that way...some wee twigs on it do not grow as they should so it's hard to trim. But I just keep trying.LOL. xo,Susie
DeleteOh yes sweet lady...Spring is time for trimmings and planting and picking flowers! Flowers are always so lovely planted anywhere and here it's gonna be great! Thanks for your sweet visit, I so appreciate it.

I love visiting your blog.You have the best table setting.xoxo,Susie
DeleteLaurie, It was 58 degrees today..but at this time , you can be sure it won't get colder at night and kill out anything we might plant. So I have to wait a bit. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteOh- We trimmed out junipers back last year,too. They really can get bushy. I think a planted box for the mailbox sounds perfect. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteDiana, This juniper was trimmed in to a spiral when we bought it and I keep trying to make it that shape and oh boy it looks wonky some times. xoxo,Susie
DeleteYour post reminds me to get out and finish trimming some shrubs for spring. So glad it's feeling more like the season today!
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
Mary Alice, I have some barberry shrubs to trim back also. I love their pretty colors...but oh those thorns.xoxo,Susie
DeleteI love Juniper, Susie!
ReplyDeleteYOur idea for a mailbox flower box sounds neat!
You've got Spring Fever right along with me, Susie. Can't wait to go plant shopping either!
ReplyDeleteI want to get out in the yard this weekend and plant and weed and cut the grass. It's always a lot of work, but the result is worth it. I love the idea of a planted box around your mailbox.
